Squad

Tomas Molina says Patriotas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Patriotas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Freyn Macleyn signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Freyn Macleyn commits to Patriotas for another 3 years.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Juan Daniel Espitia keeps Patriotas in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 12 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market

Patriotas turn down Tractor for Michael Nike

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Brayan Fernández signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Brayan Fernández and Patriotas agree another 2 years.

Player ratings

Kevin Salazar was immovable

21 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

Esteven Salguero falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Carlos Copete

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Nobody at Patriotas has picked up the phone to Darwin Palomeque

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Market

Patriotas and Esteven Salguero are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
